Surgery TODAY!

[Knny79 0]

My surgery is at 5:15 today. It's been a little over 4 months from the seminar. Everything has been smooth, which is a bit scary. Only saw the doctor for 15 minutes in the entire 4 months. Insurance approval was quick. There was no pre op diet, only not to eat anything after 11pm last night. I feasted. Just wondering if everything has been to easy and the rest will be hell...

Good luck with your operation. It's the start of an exciting time for you and I'm sure that everything will be fine.

Let us know how you get on.

good luck to ya kenny! I had similiar...my pre op started 3 days out with soft foods then on the day before liquids.... My doc explained that sometimes in bigger people it just makes life easier for them to have the small intestines and bowels a little empty...so go drop the kids off at the pool.... LOL ...if ya know what I mean! LOL ....sorry to be gross, just trying to help for post op! I was banded a week ago and have no regrets...by day 4 I was on liquid tylenol...and today I just feel as if I did a few too many sit ups.... I thought mine was too easy too, the whole process from seminar to band was less than 4 months... but I was wrong...just be prepared to have ur own experience...and if u got a minute a great book I would reccomend would be Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies...its been my bible pre & post op in giving a good sense of whats to come and whats normal and not.... hope this all helps and good luck today!
